14 DAY TRIAL // The image above was collected by the NASA Cassini orbiter on June 15, 2012. It shows the gas giant Saturn, the second-largest planet in our solar system, from an angled perspective, captured using the satellite's wide-angle camera (WAC).
The bright speck in the lower left is the interesting moon Enceladus, one of its most interesting moons. The object, just 504 kilometers (313 miles) in diameter, may have a liquid ocean under its surface, and is renowned for the ice geysers at its south pole.
Cassini has been investigating Saturn, its ring system and its moon since achieving orbital insertion around the gas giant, on July 1, 2004. Thus far, it carried out dozens of flybys of Enceladus, of Titan (Saturn's largest moon) and has imaged the atmosphere of the planet in detail.
This new image was collected at a resolution of 17 kilometers (11 miles) per pixel, experts at CICLOPS say.
